why do american directors have to inject quips and jokes into everything, it was jarring seeing the characters joke and shit while people got gored and shredded apart. I don't remember castlevania ever being like this (lest some eastereggs).
this isn't a fucking marvel comic book adaptation.

That's why there weren't any transexual latino lesbians
Brandon Lewis
Quipping is a proud American tradition, son. Please learn to respect our noble culture.
Jonathan Green
but Castlemania was written by a Britbong
Cooper Long
that's Trevor's character though, he's not the goody two shoes Simon Belmont
Jaxon Rodriguez

Luis Williams
would've preferred best belmont
Colton Thompson
Castlevania has always had humor in it, you ignorant fuck.

Are you that same user from the /vr/ thread?
Nolan Hall
it'd be weird if I was since I don't go to /vr/
Dylan Lopez
The best Belmont is Leon. No only did he fight the armies of hell, but he gave up his nobility in order to do it.
Asher Flores
I think we should all agree that Leon sucks
Daniel Sanchez
jokes aside, did he kill shovel peasant and barmaster?
Charles Baker
he hasn't killed any non-church civilians
Camden Diaz
No u.
Grayson Campbell
I actually like Leon
Benjamin Green
I want to fuck Sypha
Grayson King
>watch documentary >quips and jokes inserted into errywhere >entire show is ruined
Jackson Thompson
cant believe ellis wrote this piece of shit
Nathaniel Peterson
>akchually... Leon is the nobleman Trevor is the holy warrior Simon is the barbarian Juste is the bishounen Richter is the shonen protag Julius is the older man
So this personality would've better suited Simon or Richter.
Jaxon Taylor
>why do american directors That would be british comic book writers. The out-of-place gore is probably because of that, too, besides some anime influence I guess.
Damn, that feels sorta accurate.
Adam King
>Best Belmont >Got outshined by a loli >Got brainwashed by Shaft >raised dracula >Poisoned the whip so badly that the Morris clan had to fix your shit
Caleb Turner
I can.
Kayden Perez
By your list, Simon wouldn't have a reason to be bitter about the loss of his lands/excommunication, because he's a barbarian and why should he care? And Richter would also be more upfront concerned with making friends and such, rather than just getting the job done.
As a holy warrior, the Trevor written into the show fits pretty well with the "priest/pastor who has become cynical/lost their faith" archetype, though obviously he isn't officially one.
Joshua Morgan
>HYDRO STORM will never be animated
Charles Moore
Simon is the barbarian because he failed to live up to Trevor and Christopher's fame and didn't even kill Dracula right the first time.
Leon is the beggining, Trevor is the superstar, Simon is the failure and revival of the family, and it repeats with Juste and Richter.
Trevor doesn't have any reason to question his faith, it's just this way in the series because of course a fucking englishman wouldn't pait an eastern-european holy knight in a straight good light, it may upset the caliphate.
Aiden Bennett
Why does Sup Forums believe """"quips"""" is the worst thing ever? It's by far the most retarded buzzword of the board. I've never played Castlevania so if it's super grimdark and edgy I can see being misplaced, but considering most of the quip complains are usually totally idiotic I'll have to assume this is the case as well.
Alexander Davis
I don't see how anyone can take Castle DIE MONSTER YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD Vania seriously
Christopher Davis
>when Sup Forums has to circlejerk around marvel hate so much that even on non-DC properties a bunch of the posts are about Marvel they truly have won
Easton Bell
>it was jarring seeing the characters joke and shit while people got gored and shredded apart
Warren Ellis motherfucker, do you know him?
Luis Hall
>wasn't paying attention to the opening of the first couple episodes >halfway through episode 3 say 'Jesus, did fucking Ellis write this?' because of muh atheism >mfw I see his name in the credits
Blake Sullivan
>and didn't even kill Dracula right the first time. So to make your characterization work, we'd need to skip right to Simon's Quest? Because he can't become a barbarian out of failure until he actually fails. >Trevor doesn't have any reason to question his faith Except the excommunication plot is taken directly from the manual. >, it may upset the caliphate. Oh, so this was your real complaint all along. Never mind Lisa emulating Jesus, never mind the good priest who is able to make holy water, never mind God condemning the cruel actions of the Bishop. You're just a Sup Forums poster.
Carter Johnson
>this isn't a fucking marvel comic book adaptation.
Quips in films and media have been longstanding and present since the late 70's. They are not originating from or unique to the Marvel films.
The only reason you hate "quips" is because of consolewar bullshit and Joss Whedon's inability to ever have characters not quipping.
Jace Collins
I just realized cartoon Trevor's personality may probably fit a bit better Simon "what an horrible night to have a curse" Belmont.
William Sanchez
Castlevania is verbose and heavy metal as fuck, if there was ever a time for Ellis to channel his inner Tony Iommi, and he wasted it on quipping and profanity. Really high IQ writting there, never done before.
Gabriel Gonzalez
This, but don't raise your voice because Warren is over there already invoking the Sup Forums boogeyman to defend his shit.
Adam Ramirez
If you think the personality just fits better, sure, that is something worth discussing. If you think Ellis intentionally fucked with Trevor's characterization for Sup Forums conspiracy theories despite actual evidence in the show to the contrary, that's a different can of worms.
Cameron Rivera
Quipping started in the UK.
Ethan Robinson
>it was jarring seeing the characters joke and shit while people got gored and shredded apart black comedy, even under extreme duress, is surprisingly common occurrence, mind you
people who are literally dying, inclusing former president of the US ronald reagan, have made witty one-liners while bleeding out
it is natural to seek comedy in the darkest of times, as a coping mechanism, as a morale boost, or even to distract your enemy people screaming and crying in a bad situation will sap peoples will to fight and go on, but injecting a but of humor, even terrible humor, helps establish a sense of control to the situation and get people to see some good in their situation no matter how bleak indeed, when in a dangerous situation, panic is the absolute last thing that you should do, and especially people who willingly go into a dangerous situation like a vampire hunter would be a bit more like chuck yeager, rather than a hysterical woman >we should all hang together, lest we hang separately >then we will fight in the shade >nuts >Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose. >You want to be particular and make it a runway, huh
people in mortal danger in real life have an astounding reserve of wit to say nothing of fictional characters characterized by willingness to put themselves in harms way
Liam Diaz
Warren Ellis is British.
Jason Ortiz
Really? Because the whole thing was Ellis as fuck.
Matthew Robinson
>it may upset the caliphate.
Sup Forums identified. How fitting your post ends in 666.
Sebastian Walker
>any colored joke is now Sup Forums This persecution complex is why we have a potato in the white house.
Evan Brooks
Well then it all makes sense, doesn't it?
Aaron Carter
>If you think Ellis intentionally fucked with Trevor's characterization for Sup Forums conspiracy theories I literally never said that. I thought the whole thing was just Ellis being a british comic book writer, which probably should have been in reins. Also a lot of Production IG influence on the animation side I guess.
Dylan Phillips
>Not expecting Ellis to write in a testicle joke
How uneducated are you?
Jacob Miller
the whole nation grew up on an overabundance of cheesy slasher movies. they see gore, they think freddy kruger and ash williams and such. that's just their culture.
Colton Gomez
A little bit of self awareness helps the medicine of something that is otherwise kind of inherently stupid go down smoother.
Camden Fisher
> I don't remember castlevania ever being like this (lest some eastereggs). well no shit, it was a game with no speaking roles and extremely limited dialogue. you, sir, are a miserable pile of lies
Nolan Rogers
>get kicked in the balls twice. >ask them politely to not do it. It was a good moment.
Bentley Reyes
So did America.
Landon Martinez
Because it's entertaining. I just marathoned the first season of The Walking Dead and I wish it had more levity.
Brandon Hall
>he doesn't have a game on his own. Dracula is literally the culprit of this.
Jace Powell
>bitching about american influence >on the american comics and cartoons board hi Sup Forums, how are you this evening? I'm fine, I only just finished watching the first 4 eps of Castlevania. I quite liked it, and the 'quips' werent really out of place. It just made him sound tired of having to beat the shit out of some poor untrained and fat peasants. now fuck off back to Sup Forums
Oliver Gomez
You've already finished the best season of the show, read the book instead, it's genuinely better
Jordan Murphy
Trevor is a holy warrior you idiot, not some drunk quipping cunt. You fags haven't even played the fucking games
Hudson Kelly
>everything I don't like is Sup Forums
You tumblr fags have ruined Sup Forums
Tyler Garcia
No, he fucking isn't, dipshit. He's a mountain man from a clan of monster hunters. He has super powers and regular ass people don't like that or the Belmont family. He is basically a barbarian.
Samuel Peterson
Except you're wrong, the Belmont family are specifically described as a clan of monster fighting holy warriors. If you had actually played the fucking games, you'd know that Trevor is devout and takes his job seriously. You can see this in fucking Curse of Darkness
Carson Hall
Gabriel?
Aiden White
In Curse of Darkness, the Belmondo family lives out side of society as outcasts due to their powers. The holy bits with Leon were injected much later.
Dominic Adams
Fuck, even then, Leon wanted to kill the night with his alchemy whip. Holy has nothing to do with it.
Dominic Jackson
Not him, but that does not exclude being holy warriors. Trevor starts his game kneeling before a cross before moving on to whip monster ass.
Jackson Fisher
show's writer is Warren Ellis
Dylan Ortiz
excelent bait.
Benjamin Cooper
You do know that the alchemy whip had to be enchanted in order to kill vampires right? And the Belmont's abilities to weild holy water and crosses stem from holy powers
Oliver Kelly
Morris clan is ok in my book.
Benjamin White
You even described the game wrong. Curse of Darkness takes place after III and Trevor is a full member of the Church at that point and married to Sypha
Ryan Davis

To make them more relatable and who gives a shit, goddamn you could the best thing ever and you still complain, I mean there is critism and then there is just complaining.
Hunter Martin
>OP can't handle the concept of humor Dude, if they wanted to be quippy, they would've had a wall chicken gag.
ayy hol up what if you could break things and get kfc
Jack Stewart
castlevania has a kamen rider skeleton in it.
Asher Cruz
I can't be the only one who WANTS there to be a reference to that, as long as it's done well.
Wyatt Richardson
Hi Satan.
Dylan Harris
Castelvania is goofy as all fuck. The whole first game was a spoof of old movies. The game end credits had silly fake actor's names. Humor was all over the place in the game. Silly enemies in every single game.
And the quip wasn't even that bad. They had kicked him in the balls twice at that point.
Jackson Cooper
And Curse of Darkness was published after Lament of Innocence, so how could the Leon stuff be injected much later?
